Paper Crown

When they gave you roses
And believed your wild excuses you were
Sealing the deal
Halfway down the road and ain't it funny how
The ghosts they fade and suddenly appear

You went too far
Oh woman now you're feeling the fear
'Cause you've never been alone before
And the wolf is at the door
Now it's better if you hold your breath
And don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown

You reached out for more
And as the waves hit at the shore you felt
The fading of your will
Choke back the matter
From the bottom of the ladder ask me
If I love you still

You went too far
Oh woman now you're feeling the fear
'Cause you've never been alone before
And the wolf is at the door
And the hounds of hell they won't lie down
On the ashes of your paper crown

In the bright light of the sun
Well you make sure everyone
Could see your face
You make fun of everyone who falls
But meantime they were saving you a place

'Cause you've never been alone before
And the wolf is at the door
And the talking heads don't make a sound
At the ageing of your paper crown

Better if you don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown
